Abstract
Visualization tools are important for scientists as they offer a visual representation of data for in-depth analysis. These visualizations are especially important for protein-protein interaction networks (PPINs) as proteins that neighbor one another tend to participate in the same biological processes, have related functions, and have common evolutionary origins. Hundreds of thousands of proteins exist in the Human species alone, which adds additional complexity to manually parsing through protein data. The goal for this research project is to use web-development techniques to create visualizations that are effective for use in a biological research setting.
